Description
- 107 authors, 421 contributions: The full spectrum of science journalism and music essayism.
- A journey through time through musical life from the Middle Ages to the present.
- A fascinating musical history of Europe - and beyond - from the Middle Ages to the present.
421 chronologically arranged essays on music, music theatre and musical life, written by renowned authors, scientists and journalists from a dozen countries: a richly illustrated compendium of well-founded and inspired texts on the multifaceted interplay of music and society.
Whether festive music of the Middle Ages or pop and love parades, drinking songs or operetta plush, troubadour or DJ, singing of synagogues or violinists of the Sinti and Roma, madrigal or riff, imperial symphony or folk music, opera house or YouTube, local art or stadium singing, heavy metal, Rap or cat music - music and society deals with the great wealth and poverty zones of the international music scenes, offers history and stories, interprets facts, theories and anecdotes, roams the known and the unknown to all developments and forms of playing the musical arts.
These were and are often integrated into the representation of churches, rulers, dictators and democracies. Often they accompanied their campaigns, but also served and still serve as a lament and resistance against injustice, oppression and war or egalitarianism and stupidity.
Whoever opens, reads, reads into the opulent and bibliophile volumes, reads firmly, will recognise: what a statement!

The publishing house Königshausen & Neumann was founded in 1979 by the students Johannes Königshausen and Thomas Neumann and has quickly developed into a well-known publishing house for the Humanities in a national and international context. Today we have a backlist of more than 7,000 available (!) titles, with a focus on philosophy, literature and cultural studies, history, psychology, music and art. Our aim is to accompany developments in science with publications and to make developments in science visible and accessible as such in the first place. We want to be an echo chamber not of one thought, but of a plurality of thoughts. Wittgenstein's followers, for example, are represented in our programme, as are his critics. Our authors include philosophers such as Gernot Böhme, Otto Friedrich Bollnow, Karen Gloy, Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann, Vittorio Hösle and Peter Sloterdijk, and literary and linguistic scholars such as Dieter Borchmeyer, Karl Corino, Ulrich Gaier, Walter Hinderer and Volker Klotz, Wolfgang Müller-Funk, Wolfgang Riedel or Hans Rudolf Vaget, psychologists like Johannes Cremerius, Roland Kuhn or Josef Rattner, musicologists like Hermann Danuser, Frieder Reininghaus, Hans-Joachim Hinrichsen, Arnold Jacobshagen, Barbara Meier, Anno Mungen or Arne Stollberg. Many scientists have taken their first steps at K&N. Robert Habeck has published his master's and doctoral theses at K&N. Artists are represented in our programme, such as Diana Damrau, Anja Harteros or Jonas Kaufmann, Marco Goecke or Robert Tewsley. Artists are brought into conversation in a unique way: Richard Wagner or Francisco de Goya, for example. Elazar Benyoëtz entrusts us with his work, but also the young generation of writers, such as Manfred Kern, Markus Orths or Sophie Reyer, published by K&N.
